Leak Detection by a Mesquite Plumbing plumber

About leak detection

Most leaks are not a puddle you can see. They hide inside walls, under floors and beneath the concrete slab most North Texas homes sit on, and the first sign is often a water bill that jumps for no reason. Mesquite Plumbing finds the leak first, then fixes it, so you are not paying to open walls or break concrete in the wrong place.

North Texas clay soil swells when it is wet and shrinks in drought, and that movement puts stress on the water and sewer lines under a slab. We locate slab leaks on both the water side and the sewer side, and repair leaks anywhere in the system, from toilets and water heaters to the main line.

How it works

What to expect

    Check the signs

    We look at your water meter, pressure and the symptoms you have noticed.

    Pinpoint the leak

    Electronic listening equipment, pressure tests and cameras narrow down the exact spot.

  3. 3

    Explain the repair

    You see where the leak is and hear the repair options before any digging.

  4. 4

    Repair and retest

    We fix the line and test it again to confirm the leak is gone.

Questions

Leak Detection FAQs

Can you tell me how to detect a water leak?

If you suspect a water leak in your home, the most reliable solution is to call a plumbing professional. Our experts have specialized tools to identify the leak source and assess any additional damage throughout your home. However, you can follow these helpful tips on how to identify hidden water leaks if you’re uncertain.

How does leak detection work?

Most leak detection systems utilize small turbines or ultrasonic wavelengths to monitor water flow through your pipes. These systems employ sensors to detect and record abnormalities in water flow, pressure, gallonage, or temperature changes. When an issue is identified, our plumbing professionals use these readings to pinpoint the source of the problem.

Is leak detection covered by insurance?

Most homeowners’ insurance policies cover water damage resulting from plumbing leaks. However, long-term issues that could have been resolved with proper maintenance may not be included.
